simple nt client question

[Loo, Joseph]

Have you tried adding
    wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I couldn't get mine to work until that was set. In addition I set my
    password server = *
instead to a specific machine. It seems to work fine.

Subject: simple nt client question




Hello,

This is a simple question with hopefully a simple answer.

samba 2.0.6 on HPUC 10 using  security = domain and an NT PDC, as per the
FAQ
(6.1) and book v1.

I can connect direct to shares using win9x and NT using dos net  and
smbclient,
but not navigating via explorer or neighbourhood on the desktop. When I
click on
the server icon I am asked to authenticate but  no username:password works.
The
NT / unix (nis) usernames are the same. What do I need to do?

Thanks

Dino
